We're one of Montana's leading trial practices. In fact, our law firm has won two of the four largest judgments ever recovered in Montana. Founding attorney A. Clifford Edwards is a former Montana Trial Lawyer of the Year, and has consitently been in Top 100 Trial Lawyers in America. Even after decades of success, our firm believes that ordinary Montana families and businesses deserve outstanding counsel and advocacy in the areas that affect their interests the most—serious injury and work-related accident claims, environmental cleanup litigation, consumer protection and corporate wrongdoing cases, and insurance coverage disputes. With 35 years' experience, Attorney Edwards leads the firm in pursuing successful trial verdicts and acceptable settlements. Our record of litigation success includes victories over railroads, energy companies, car manufacturers, mining companies, and some of the world's biggest insurance carriers. Although we'll never back away from a legal battle, no matter whom we're facing, we understand that a fair settlement will suit most clients' goals as well as a hard fight at trial. As a result, we develop each case with bargaining leverage in mind just as much as trial tactics. When push comes to shove, however, nothing improves a negotiating position as much as a demonstrated capacity to prove a tough case at its full value in court. We give our opponents frequent reminders of our willingness and ability to do so.
